Is it canola oil - update

#1 Post by Chuck »

Ah well,. those few minutes of fame look likely to cost someone money;

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016 ... Newsletter
In September of 2015, Andrew Tuohy of Vuurwapen Blog had an infrared spectroscopy performed on Crisco canola oil, Crisco vegetable oil, and FIREClean by a gentleman with a Ph.D. in organic chemistry. The results allegedly showed a shocking similarity between the oils, and the professor commented that he did not see any sign of other additives such as antioxidants or corrosion inhibitors.

FIREClean did respond, insisting that “allegations do not focus on actual performance or relevant tests, and draw a misleading picture”.

Now it seems that on March 17th, FireClean LLC has filed a lawsuit against Mr. Tuohy and Everett Baker, a man who performed his own tests to verify Tuohy’s findings. In their complaint, FireClean LLC claims that “Tuohy initiated a public smear campaign against FireClean” and holds that Mr. Baker “contacted Tuohy for the express purpose of conspiring with him to further defame and damage FireClean”. FireClean LLC also states that since the publishing of the test, their revenues have fallen by over $25,000 per month.

I used to sell a product called "Bettgroup" which I claimed if you drunk it before checking your target, your groups instantly got better.
All was going well until someone claimed it was just cheap rebottled beer.
Damn those internet people!

Maybe it's just my bolshy nature or maybe it's my law degree talking but the truth is an absolute defence to libel and I applaud the bloke's initiative in exploring the gofundme approach if he believes he's right. I detest bullies I hope he proves his defence - people that stand up and are counted make the world a better place.

Oh I don't know, ask Nick griffin - a judge told him the truth was no defence in court!

I'm guessing you are referring to his trial to face charges of "conduct likely to incite racial hatred"

I can't seem to find a reference to truth being no defence in court. I'm assuming that relates to a side issue of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred. In any event he was acquitted.
